Former Citizen TV anchor Terryanne Chebet's story may help understand the young man's situation better.

On September 3, 2021 the young man whom we are going to call Jabari slid into Terryanne's DMs on one of the social media platforms and asked for a job opportunity.

"Hello Terryanne. I loved your conversation with Benard Ndong on Instagram Live. I'm an IT diploma graduate, digital manager and content creator and I would love to work for you. I don't mind starting as an intern," the young man said.

The media personality asked him to send his CV and she was impressed enough to consider him for an interview.

As she was conducting a background check on her candidate, Terryanne stumbled on a number of suspicious messages Jabari had been sending to her on IG.

After going through the conversation, the media personality withdrew her interest in the young man as a suitable candidate for the job.

"He totally qualified for the position, I was looking forward to the interview, but I can't hire him based on the sentiments shared," she said.
